Re: The future of Text::CSV_XS - TODO

[talexb]

I don't know what the source of the problem is, but I'm posting to note that the Issues link from the CPAN page is broken. I was impressed to see that there was only one issue, and wanted to check out what it might be.

And also, I use Text::CCSV in my current work, and it's awesome to use. I had been using just

  print { $csv_files{$table} } join( ',', @{ $data{$table} } ) . "\n";

but replaced that with

  $csv_obj->print ( $csv_files{$table}, $data{$table} );

and it was delightful to look at the result, and see that the data files looked almost exactly the same -- except just a few of the strings were quoted. So beautiful.

• Issues was fixed in this commit a month ago, which will be part of the next release.
• The corrected issue link now points to just one single issue (about the issue link, which has been resolved)
• The RT site is unstable. It sometimes shows ticket 119312 about threading, which stalled.
• I don't know about Text::CCSV. I know about App::CCSV and Text::CSV.

If you think the commits on Text::CSV_XS warrent a release, I'll consider.

Thanks for these updates! I just happened to visit your profile, saw your ask to visit an old node (as one does), and posted an update. I believe the XS module gets automatically pulled in by the main module if the environment warrants. Whatever's actually being used, the module is terrific -- I've used it on and off since 2016, and probably before that as well.

Awesome work. Thanks again.
